My younger dog is a reactive barker. I've been working on the problem with him, but he's got some serious issues that I've not been able to resolve. I've spoken to both my vet and behaviorists and am not closer to a solution ( Read more... )

hey all, it's me again, the one with the slow-go crate training with the little maltepoo with separation anxiety. I have implemented some of your advice, the dog trainer's advice, the internet's advice, AND my friends advice. I have been using Bach's remedy, but am still holding out on the prozac, which is probably inevitable at this point ( Read more... )

I just posted the other day about slow-go crate training with my dog Chili, but please bear with me, I am a new dog owner and I am trying to get this pup to stay alone without much success ( Read more... )

Last time I posted, I bragged about how well my 2-year-old lab mix Jackie was responding to training for her separation anxiety. She'd gotten to the point where she would rarely bark at all when left alone.

Last week, we moved from a house to an apartment in a new city. The move has really freaked Jackie out, and seems to have set her back in her ( Read more... )

I've posted here before about my dog Jonesy who has a severe case of separation anxiety. He is currently on Prozac and takes Alprazolam one hour before I leave the house. He had some other anxiety issues which have been mostly resolved since taking Prozac, but his separation anxiety is still a constant battle. I can't even run to the corner store ( Read more... )

Hello all. I adopted a chi/terrier mix in January and  She is a great little dog. Her first few months she was very polite and inquisitive about new people, and all around well behaved. When we adopted her, the adoption place said she had been a little anxious about being left at home alone, but had gotten over it with time. the foster home she was ( Read more... )

Hi all! I have a red-tick beagle named Damien Beagleface Beagleface Beagleface. Now, Damien is usually well-behaved. He's house-trained (unless he's feeling cranky and spiteful), he's healthy, and he's got the best temperment ever.

I have one problem with Damien, and it's about to be more than just a problem. He has terrible separation anxiety. When ( Read more... )

I've posted a couple of times about a dog that I adopted from our local humane society. She's been in our home about 4 months now, and when we're here, everything's going well: she had a problem with chasing/gnawing on the cats which has been basically taken care of (she'll chase when the cats and her are WAY excited, but we're making progress), ( Read more... )
